Windows 10: Win10 Boot Loop Issue

Dell Inspiron 11-3148 with Intel Core i3-4030 running Win 10 Home


Last night it unexpectedly rebooted. After Win login only got black screen with mouse pointer. Rebooted several times with same result. Followed numerous online suggestions and finally got to Advanced Startup and attempted to refresh saving files. This got me into an endless loop of "Choose Your Keyboard Layout" and then "Why Did My PC Reboot". Found my Win 10 USB boot stick attempted to use that. Now stuck in a new boot loop: first a Win logo followed by "Choose Your Keyboard Layout" then "Choose an Option" (Troubleshoot or Turn off). I have tried every option on the Troubleshooting menu but no resolution. "Recover from a Drive" returns "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made." System Restore doesn't find any restore points to use. Startup repair can't repair my PC.


Yikes!


Thanks in advance for any help here!

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

 

Boot loop

Hi Terri,

This issue occurs when there are broken components on the boot configuration data of your system. To troubleshoot your boot loop issue, we suggest that you boot in
safe mode through the Windows
Recovery Environment option. To do this, follow these steps:

• Turn on your computer. When the Windows logo appears, unplug and replug the device. Perform these steps three times.
• On the fourth instance, turn on your device without unplugging it. The Windows Recovery Environment window will appear.
  
• On the Choose an option screen, click Troubleshoot.
• Click Advance options.
• Click Startup Settings.
• Click Restart.
• Once your computer restarts, you will see a list of options. Press the F4 key to start your computer in
  safe mode.
  

Once done, we suggest that you perform a system restore after booting in safe mode. System Restore will be able to revert your PC or laptop to their previous state, which can be used to repair and recover system malfunctions or issues. Restoring won’t affect
your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Right-click the Start button, and then select
Control Panel.

2. Search Control Panel for
Recovery.

3. Select Recovery > Open
System Restore > Next.

4. Choose the restore point related to the problematic
app, driver, or update, and then select
Next > Finish.
